Spitting on their gloves by goalkeepers should be made a bookable offence.
It's a filthy disgusting habit, and it serves no useful purpose whatsoever.
We're cautious about catching blood borne diseases if players have blood on them and team staff run on to attend them wearing latex gloves.
But no one seems to give a shit about a keeper gobbing huge amounts of slobber all over his gloves. It transfers straight onto the ball. A few seconds later players are contacting that germ laden muck with their heads and bodies which might have open grazes etc etc.
I think my point is made.
When I raise this topic I keep hearing the same ridiculous comments by vacant brained numb nuts who reckon that gobbing onto their gloves helps them catch the ball better.
Beleiving that old load of bollocks is just as stupid as doing it.
All it will make easier to catch is saliva borne diseases such tuberculosis, the common cold and influenza, to name a few.

Anyhow, I'll deliberately end this post on a sarcastic note to all you glovely phlegmerz, by affectionately spitting in ya faces with this thoughtful throaty teaser,.,If it's okay for keepers to spit on their gloves, which quickly transfers the germy golly gunk onto the ball, and onto players, then what the fuck is all this fuss about players spitting at each other.
It's the same substance.
Lettem go for it!
And,,,,,,,,,,,,Up yours ref, I spit on your decisions!

PS,.,Everytime my gloved up goalie team mate goes to pat me on the head for a well done bit of defence I put in a quick sprint outta there.

PPS,.,If hacking up gob fulls of golly onto gloves is such a top way to improve a keepers efficiency, then at what age should we start teaching our little tackers the fine art of glove gobbing?

PPPS,.,I don't see female players spitting all over football fields the way blokes do.
Why is that?
